There’s no point putting any money into BTL unless you think property prices will rise.
The safety factr is a draw, but the wise guy with a homo (house of multiple occupation) and a 40% deposit would likely do a dwp fiddle on a couple of rooms for ghosts with the resident paying cash, that ups the yield and increases the risk and pays your loft conversion.
But I'm not into creative accounting.
